Binge Eating And Purging Subtype
The binge eating and purging subtype of eating disorders involves episodes of consuming large amounts of food followed by compensatory behaviours such as self-induced vomiting or laxative misuse. This pattern can occur in both bulimia nervosa and a subtype of anorexia nervosa. Treatment typically involves a combination of cognitive-behavioural therapy, nutritional counselling, and sometimes medication to address underlying psychological factors and establish healthy eating patterns.
